The English language is becoming increasingly important for work and studies, because it is the global Lingua Franca. Having a good level of written and spoken English can help you to pass important exams, get a place at university and can open so many doors when it comes to finding a good job. In today's global marketplace it can give individuals and companies a competitive edge. A qualified native speaker can help you to improve your vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and the four key language skills of writing, reading, speaking and listening, as well as teach you about English culture. This gives you the security that you are learning the real English language and the confidence to express yourself when using it.
Maribel Gallardo and her sons have all attended classes with me over the last six years. Her oldest and middle sons Sergi and Tito started classes with me in late 2017 and Sergi continued until he finished school. Her middle son Tito is still studying with me and passed the B2.1 exam at Spain's Official Language School last year. He is currently preparing to take the B2.2 exam at the end of May 2023. Maribel is working for the current regional government of the Balearic Islands in the budget department and has regular trips to Brussels to negotiate with the European Union. I expect her excellent English comes in useful there.
"I started English classes with Tom several years ago and he has always been very responsible and honest with his job. He also has a great knowledge of the English language, not only in speaking, as he is native, but also in how to teach grammar and writing. He has been teaching English to my children too and they have improved their level in conversation and vocabulary while they are playing and having fun." Ana Sala, Palma de Mallorca.
